ESPECIAL TO THE sESTISEL.I
st. John q Hypocrfte.

Sss
TOPEKA, KS, Feb. Pa bill chang
ing the name of st. John county to
Logan, passed the House of Represen-
tatives this morning by a vote OF "a to
"a. The county was named IN honor
of John p. St. John, late ProhiDltlon
candidate for President, who, at n
time the county was named, was the
Republican Governor OF Kansas.
Several violent speeches we're made,
and among the most bitter being that
by Speaker Smith, who declared that
st. John was a hypocrite; that he
jumped the Prohibition hobby to ride
into Office. He said the Republican
party has raised st. John from an in
significant position OF a third rate
| Kansas lawyer, to Governor OF n
State, and failing to be elected this
time, he played the part OF a traitor.
| He hoped that the name of the man
| whose infamous treachery to his party
| had elected a Democratic President,
| could be obliterated from the history OF
| Kansas forever. OF the GA who voted
Sor the bill, II we're Democrats; four
| Democrats voted against the bill; the
| Radical Prohibitionists were about
| equally divided. The bill has already
| passed the Senate, and received the
! Governors signature this afternoon.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 25.-There was
no renewal of yesterdays turbulent
scenes about the Capitol this morning.
| Colonel Robertson called at the SEN
| ate doors this morning. but was refused
| admittance, by order of the Democratic
majority, and then retired. The Re-
publican Senators pursue their inten-
| ton of taking no part in the proceed
| ings, and simply ignoring the major
| ity and President pro tenn Smith. A
resolution was offered by Senator
| Bailey this morning, asking the SUI
/ preme Court to act as arbitrator upon
the claims Of Robertson and Smith.
The Republicans say they have moth
| ing to submit to arbitration. The SUI
preme Court is not likely to take any
notice of the matter.
